Doodle Garden: Screen saver based on Genetic Programming
areas/genetic/gp/systems/doodle/
This directory contains the Doodle Garden Screen Saver. It uses
Genetic Programming to evolve new drawings ("doodles") from a basic
set (screen).
A small computer program draws each doodle. The screen saver mutates
(randomly changes) a doodle program, or crosses programs (attach part of
one to part of another) with interesting results. When the screen saver
is activated, it automatically generates new doodles every few seconds
by mutating and crossing the doodles that make up the base screen. By
selecting your favorite Doodle Garden Screen, you are exploring Genetic
Programming and a fascinating visual space.
